Default [KERNEL][3.1.10][EXPERIMENTAL][OC@1.7GHz|OV|SmartAssV2] Aquaria Kernel for Nexus 7

I do not yet have a Nexus 7 to test this with. You use this at your own risk!

This is the first real kernel work I've done, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work. I've only provided a boot.img as fastboot is easy enough to use on the Nexus 7.

Features (If it works):
CPU OC to 1.7GHz maximum
CPU over volt to hopefully reach 1.7GHz
GPU OC to 600MHz
Simple IO scheduler
SmartAssV2 CPU governor

The boot.img is attached. Source can be found at my github.

If anyone here has a Nexus 7 it would be very helpful to know if it works. I should have mine soon though. If it works well, enjoy. Feedback is always welcomed, as are benchmarks. Thanks.

Removed link until fixed!

This is scary looking, an untested Overclock that's never been run on the hardware before.

I'm guessing that the T30L is just a speed binned T30 and as such this shouldn't damage it. The same overvolt (and higher) has been successful on the T30 to get even higher clocks (1.8GHz). I would test this given hardware, however I don't yet have my Nexus 7.

This sounds interesting. Especially the 600mhz gpu OC but may I ask if you are thinking of implementing some kind of app interface to control gpu clock and voltages etc like Extweeks on google play please? As I am guessing a lot of people won't be able to go to 600mhz stably, so a way to change the OC to something like 520mhz (to bring it to T30 speed) would be a good option

I've seen voltage tweaks controlled from userspace on other devices but not the GPU clock. I'd like to get it working first, then I guess I'll look at such things, especially if there is interest.

Siyah kernel for the galaxy s2 and galaxy s3 both let you control gpu clock speed and voltages, might be cool to have something similar

if this kernel works can we control the clocks with antutu or similar?
